National Institute of Technology Durgapur Annual Report 2014-2015

4.9 Examination Details

Written examinations are held at the end of every semester (generally of 3 hours duration) for the theory papers. B. Tech. examinations are arranged centrally by the Academic Section while the postgraduate examinations are being conducted by the respective departments from the academic year 2008-09, with partial support from the Academic Section, whenever necessary. The students are also continuously assessed through class tests, viva-voce and the class attendance. For the laboratory and sessional classes, the assessments are continuous and supported by viva-voce /examination at the end of the semester. The methods of the evaluation systems on such assessments are given below.

SGPA- CGPA System

All the subjects in a semester carry credit units depending on the contact hours per week and nature (lecture/ tutorial/ sessional/ laboratory) of the class. The full marks for all the subjects both theoretical and sessional/laboratory are 100. The percentage mark of a theoretical subject consists of 30% by continuous assessment, and 70% through end semester examination. The total mark obtained in a subject is converted to appropriate letter grade by the subject teacher(s) and dispatched for result compilation. In general, the number to grade conversion and the corresponding grade value is as follows:

90 and above: Ex (10); 80-89: A (9); 70-79: B (8); 60-69: C (7); 50-59: D (6); 40-49: P (5). Below 40 in theory subject or below 50 in sessional/ laboratory: F (0). Failure in Sessional / laboratory is required to repeat the semester through readmission. In case of absent in end-semester examination: X (0).

The product of the grade value and the credit unit of that particular subject is the grade point earned by the student in that subject. The total grade point (TGP) is the summation of all such grade points. Semester grade point average (SGPA) = (TGP) / Total credit unit of the semester, rounded up to second place of decimal. If a candidate cleared all the subjects, he is declared as passed in the grade sheet, otherwise supplementary. Supplementary candidate(s) will be allowed to appear in the supplementary examinations for the subject(s) in which he/she was failed. Fresh grade sheet is issued for such candidates with improved SGPA. The grade obtained by the candidates in the subject(s) for which he/she had appeared for the supplementary examinations are decreased by one step at the time of compilation of the supplementary examination results. Unsuccessful candidates in the supplementary examination are required to repeat the semester through readmission. Two such readmissions are permitted in the whole undergraduate studentship. The CGPA is also indicated in the grade sheet, which is the indicator of the student’s continuing performance given by the ratio of the total grade point scored by the student up to the current semester and the total credit unit of all the subjects up to the current semester. Based on the CGPA at the end of the final semester the classes are awarded as follows: CGPA≥ 8.00First class with Distinction; 8.00 > CGPA ≥ 6.50First class; the rest of the passed candidates get Second class.

Similar system is followed for the M. Tech., M. Sc., MBA and MCA programmes. In some project based courses in MBA, the 70/30 ratio as indicated above is changed according to need as a special case.

The results of the end semester examinations (both Undergraduate and Postgraduate) are compiled centrally by the Examination Cell.

4.10 Training and Placement

The Institute provides industrial training and placement to the students through the Department of Training, Placement, and Students’ Welfare. The students are given an insight of the corporate industry via various vocational training programmes facilitated by the department. The department believes that such an insight is quite crucial and helps the students in understanding the professional aspects along with the technical details of their probable future jobs. Along with training sessions (ranging between 3 to 5 weeks), the department also organises plant visits to various organizations in and around Durgapur. Apart from providing industrial training, the department also helps the students in preparing for campus recruitment drives by developing their communication and interpersonal skills through certain development programmes, which include conducting mock group interviews. It also takes care of inviting reputed firms from all over to hire students through their campus recruitment drives.
